how to install Redhat6.2 on a ultra66 hard disk.
by Thai 08 Nov '00

08 Nov '00

Hello everybody, My computer has a Promise ultra66 controller. My hard disk supports ultra66. Do you know how to install redhat 6.2 on that disk which is plugged to ultra66 controller? On Promise web page (www.promise.com) there's a guide to install redhat 6.0 to a ultra66 hard disk. It seems to me that it doesn't work with redhat 6.2. They say that kernel of redhat 6.1 and later versions support ultra66. If we want to use that feature, we have to recompile the kernel. I can recompile the kernel, but I'm not sure if I know where the option that enables ultra66 is and I'm not sure if we can boot linux directly from a ultra66 hard disk after we recompile the kernel or we cannot do that but redhat will regconize any ultra66 hard disk with the condition that we have to boot linux from IDE. Do you have any experience about that? If you've done it before, tell me what you do please. Thank you very much.
